>Is there any market segment they are currently competitive in? Intel is winning mainstream CPUs right now. Partly because AMD priced their new chips too high at launch, and partly because total system cost for AMD is higher because the motherboards were also more expensive, and you had to use more expensive DDR5. AMD has been cutting prices, motherboards are getting cheaper, and DDR5 memory is falling. So the difference is less and less. But for the last year or so Intel was best choice for a new system, though the AMD 5800X3D was solid as a pure gaming value build. (Still is, actually.) I am actually a little confused how Intel fabs can be considered far behind TSMC but their desktop consumer CPUs have been better or at least roughly equal to AMD in the last year. Is Intel just making lower profit margins and eating the cost to compete?
